The Conservative Party of Canada: a Criminal Organization?

Written by Robin Mathews

Send this column to a Conservative voter.

Old Canadian Conservatism is gone.The present government in power is a gathering of neoliberal goons for
whom Canadian democracy is an impediment to be erased with all speed. That is
not a foolish or extreme statement … as we shall see.

One of the iconic Old Canadian Conservatives, Hugh Segal, is leaving
the Senate.Preparatory to parting, he
described his values, his efforts, and he revealed the richness of Old-Style
Canadian Conservatism to an interviewer on CBC Radio in December.In doing so, he managed also to expose the
degree to which his kind shamelessly surrendered ‘for a mess of pottage’ to
“the new fascist Right”. The Old Canadian Conservatives did not go down loudly,
fighting and dying to teach Canadians what the country was losing.They died instead, it seems, from
over-indulgent feeding at the enhanced Pork Barrels provided by “the new
fascist Right”.

That Right is everywhere in the present Conservative government. Also
in December, the bulky minister of industry, James Moore, in a mood of Yuletide
frankness and openness bridled at the idea of social responsibility.In a pre-Christmas interview with a Vancouver
journalist Moore asked – “Is it the government’s job- my job to feed my neighbour’s child?I don’t think so.”

Since almost all the Holy Texts in the world (the Christian Bible and
the Koran of Islam, just for instance) insist it is James Moore’s job (and his
government’s job) to feed Moore’s neighbour’s child, we can be sure Moore was
expounding the faith of the New Fascist Right in Canada.

Flagship of that Right is, of course, the present Conservative Party of
Canada. It persistently undertakes attempts to destroy (by fraudulent means)
Canada’s free and democratic electoral system.That tirelessly organized set of actions by The Conservative Party of
Canada is no ideological accident.It
is, one may conclude, part of the attempt to implant fascism in Canada.

Fascism, quite simply, is the integration of government and large
private corporations to achieve a single goal: the unimpeded domination and
profitability of private corporations. To achieve that goal, government must
become the instrument of private corporations.They (the private corporations) must, in fact, rule – erasing
regulation, public oversight of operations, public memory, environmental and
human protections of all kinds. AND they must erase any possibility of public
influence on public policy formed in the country.

If the public is to be successfully prevented from helping to shape
public policy, public memory must be destroyed, and real elections must be made
impossible. The public’s voice must be silenced.

No one can be certain of the number of times the present Conservative
Party of Canada has engaged in organized election fraud, though many are
counting its attacks on public knowledge: on science, libraries and archives,
research, the CBC, etcetera.Since the
activity of organized election fraud – by its very nature – attempts to slip by
unnoticed, it may have been used by The Conservative Party of Canada far more
often than Canadians know or have been able to record.

But we do know The Conservative Party of Canada has been caught three
times: in 2006, 2011, and 2013.

The best-known case of organized election fraud occurred in the 2011
federal election in what came to be called the 2011 Robocall Scandal. Some
observers believe that fraudulent operation gave the Conservative Party a
fraudulent majority in the House of Commons. (More on that fraud below, because
the exact identity of the wrong-doers has not, so far, been discovered – though
a huge program of fraud has been proved beyond the shadow of a doubt.)

Two cases of violation by The Conservative Party of Canada are
absolutely certain.They are cases in
which The Conservative Party of Canada denied any infractions … and then was
forced to admit its guilt.

In the 2006 federal election The Conservative Party of Canada used 67
constituency organizations across Canada – in an organized program – to violate
Election Spending laws and to gain fraudulent financial advantage in a number
of hard-fought ridings.

Charged by Elections Canada, The Conservative Party of Canada fought,
in denial, for more than five years.During that time, millions of dollars of taxpayers’ money was used to
bring the Conservative Party to justice. And then, on March 6, 2012, The
Conservative Party of Canada finally admitted guilt to submitting fraudulent
election records … and more ....It paid
back $230,000.00, and it paid fines of $52,000.00.It DID NOT PAY BACK the millions of dollars
spent by taxpayers to “catch” the wrongdoing Conservative Party of Canada.

In 2013, the situation was different, but a fraudulent intention
appears to be very clear.No election
was in process.Electoral boundary
commissions were at work across Canada to bring changing population and
constituency boundaries into harmony.The Conservative Party of Canada, apparently, didn’t like the changes
envisioned in Saskatchewan (because they might threaten safe Conservative seats).

And so Saskatchewan was flooded with robocalls in January, 2013, the
purpose of which appears to have been to poison public opinion and to suggest
the constituency changes were an affront to the democratic wishes of the people
of Saskatchewan.Because no election was
being held, complaints went to the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications
Commission (the CRTC), overseer of electronic communications in Canada.

The CRTC found against The Conservative Party of Canada – which, at
first, denied wrongdoing (again).Then
it admitted guilt, that it had violated CRTC rulings.The Conservative Party of Canada, sender of
the robocalls, did not identify itself as the sender. It did not give a local
or toll-free number so people could check on the source of the calls and ask
for more information.In fact “the
caller” seems very obviously to have wanted to hide its identity.

The CRTC did not name the whole organized robocalling program in
Saskatchewan “deceptive”. Since the CRTC does not seek ‘wrong-doers’ but those
who have violated procedures, it merely indicates when procedures have been
violated and penalizes the violators– as it did in the case of The Conservative
Party of Canada in Saskatchewan.The
CRTC named a penalty of $78,000.00 against The Conservative Party of Canada for
its violations in Saskatchewan in 2013.

Reasonable Canadians may fairly conclude, using ordinary language, that
The Conservative Party of Canada attempted (and, indeed, perpetrated) another
“election fraud”. A Saskatchewan Conservative MP suggested the operation was
organized out of the Prime Minister’s Office by a person who has become the
deputy chief of the PMO staff.

In addition, Ottawa Citizen reporters pursued the story, finding a
voice expert with very solid credentials.He listened to the voice on the Saskatchewan robocalls, and he matched
it with Matt Meier’s voice on his voice mail. The expert declared that he was
close to certainty that the voice on the robocalls is owned by Matt Meier of
RackNine, Edmonton, a robocalling firm used by The Conservative Party of
Canada. RackNine was used in the much-publicized robocalling in Guelph, Ontario
in the 2011 federal election.Out of
that scandal a court case alleging criminal behaviour is proceeding against a
Conservative Party worker who claims he is being sacrificed to protect the real
wrong-doers in the Party.

The 2011 election fraud – operated across Canada – is still under
investigation by Elections Canada. The only party widely believed to have
engaged in organized, widespread election fraud in that 2011 election is The
Conservative Party of Canada.

Out of that scandal came the application by eight Canadian voters from
across the country, before Federal Court judge Richard Mosley, to unseat six
elected Conservative MPs on the basis (claimed) that their election was
contaminated by election fraud.

Mr. Justice Mosley could not identify a person or persons responsible
for election fraud.But he concluded
that misleading calls were made “to electors in ridings across the country”,
and that “there was a deliberate attempt at voter suppression”.

Mr. Justice Mosley was “satisfied … that the most likely source of the
information used to make the misleading calls was the CIMS [Constituent
Information Management System] maintained by the CPC [The Conservative Party of
Canada] accessed for that purpose by a person or persons unknown to this
court.”

In addition, Mr. Justice Mosley makes very clear in his ruling of May
23, 2013, that the “respondent [Conservative] MPs attempted to block these
proceedings by any means”, and that they made “transparent attempts to derail
this case”. He added that they engaged in “trench warfare in an effort to
prevent the case from coming to a hearing on the merits”.

Consider those facts….

A political party attempting to move Canada to fascism might well
engage in “trench warfare” and do everything it can “to derail” any case
seeking to protect the integrity, fairness, and honesty of the democratic
election process in Canada.

Canada has never before seen anything like the organized, sustained,
continuing attacks on fair elections and a fair electoral system as the attacks
being conducted by The Conservative Party of Canada led by Stephen Harper. As a
result law, investigation, and penalty for systematic violation of citizens’ voting
rights and freedoms drag behind the outrages being committed repeatedly.They seem to be committed according to a
grand plan. Is that possible?

Propagandists for The Conservative Party of Canada led by Stephen
Harper will hedge and disinform, accuse and vacillate, deny and attack. But
more and more concerned Canadians of every party and political conviction are
becoming convinced that the present Conservative Party of Canada has engaged
again and again in what are, in fact, criminal attempts to destroy free,
honest, democratic election processes and structures in Canada. Canadians may,
therefore, be concluding that The Conservative Party of Canada is a criminal
organization.

The worst problem is? People are very uninformed, as to what Harper really is.

Harper is a Fascist Dictator. The reason Conrad Black was permitted back in Canada was, he was a member of Harper's Northern Foundation of 1989. Black kept the lid on things for, Harper's evil Fascist takeover.

Harper is the first ever Canadian PM, that is held in contempt of the House.

A fairly sharp piece that succeeds in cutting down to at least some of the putrid flesh at the heart of the northern neo-cons' agenda--namely, electoral fraud. Make no mistake about it, this is a con job of major significance in carrying elections and they will surely try to pull it off again.

What appalled me most though, was that bulky minister moo-moo-moore espousing nothing less than what used to known as social darwinism. This is a atavistic belief system commonly associated with feudal aristocrats, free-masonic elitists, dead-soul userers, and virulent talmudists.

Holding to this primitive mentality, all that matters to them is material wealth and their own survival. Tickled to death with their own importance, subscribers to this ideology hold the view that every individual is in a war of all against all. This war is then said to "select" those who eat well--like the bulky mr.moore--and those who don't--like 20% of the children who happen to have the misfortune of being born to live in British Columbia during these darkening times.

Conveniently, this dogma never pays the slightest regard whatsoever to the fact that taxes, rent and interest are violently and disproportionately extracted from those least able to pay.

Nor does this mind-set ever let on about how money is created out of thin air by issuing debt (plus interest) that can never be paid back so that this horrible burden invariably falls on those born without power and privilege.

As well, these same types are also commonly committed to nepotism, graft, secrecy, and are often predisposed to acts of psycho and socio pathology whereas others just won't go that far for war.

Might makes right for them; and it's all natural, right?

Well, yes; but only if you're a single-minded, hard-core fascist psychopath who's hell-bent on taking as much advantage as power, privilege, and profit will afford.

Conservatives (Reform) = This is the crew which faced a backbench revolt over MPs being gagged on the Commons’ floor, which sent out party interns to disrupt a speech by an opposition party leader, drafted an enemies’ list, muzzled Canadian scientists, tried to bring in a draconian union disclosure bill, and is demanding that employees at Library and Archives Canada and elsewhere sign highly-restrictive loyalty oaths.

This is the government which imposed gag orders, closure and time limits on committee work with near-record frequency; bars cabinet ministers on the hotseat from answering questions in the House; crushed Rights and Democracy and other groups which failed to follow its political line; suppressed reports; eliminated databases; cut down the census; used vast sums of taxpayers’ money to propagandize its own work and demonize opponents; is under the microscope for alleged suppression of voters’ rights; and ran a cover-up out of the PMO on the Senate expenses scam.

I mean just look at that record. Have you ever seen anything so MONSTROUS?How much more evil must he do before the media of today, and those who were so easily fooled, finally have the guts to say that the Emperor has no clothes?
